What are the side effects of Nimesulide?

What precautions apply to Nimesulide?
Before prescribing Nimefort, clinicians should consider several safety measures.
Assess liver function: baseline tests are recommended before initiating therapy. Avoid in patients with known NSAID hypersensitivity: risk of allergic reactions. Use caution in the elderly: higher susceptibility to gastrointestinal bleeding. Limit duration: employ the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary period. Avoid concomitant anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk. Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.
What does Nimesulide interact with?
Nimefort can interact with other medicines, requiring careful review.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other COX‑2 inhibitors: increased toxicity. - Combined with anticoagulants (warfarin, heparin): heightened bleeding risk. - Co‑administration with hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., isoniazid): risk of liver injury.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Concurrent use with diuretics or ACE inhibitors: may affect renal function. - Combination with corticosteroids: increased gastrointestinal ulcer risk. - Use with lithium: possible increase in lithium serum levels.
